    I drink Diet Pepsi or Pepsi Max, so I am more of a pepsi and rum type of girl if I want to water the drink down, but if I drink it is straight up Wild Turkey

    Hi I just joined the site a couple days ago and looking for people to befriend.

    Well, this would be a good start until:
    I am stunned that anybody actually bothered to make a Rum & Diet Coke and frankly i have a hard time believing it. You're kidding, right? If you use Diet Coke in your Rum & Cokes, maybe we shouldn't be friends.

    I think it's more sad that you come online, state that you are trying to make friends, then make fun of someone that is trying to make changes in their life in some manner. It may not be the way you would think it's best to go about it, however you making it the topic of your first post shows how insensitive and oafish your actions are,

    Good point :)

    I actually think Crown mixed with Diet Coke tastes better than it does with regular Coke, but do not like the flavor of Diet Coke otherwise.

    Either way its irrelevant because neither is good for you, I do miss soda. 9 days and counting.

    Additionally, I don't see the appeal in having someone added to your friends list who rates people based upon their mixer of choice.

    6oz of cola 70 calories. shot a rum 70 calories. total 140kcal
    60z of diet cola 0 calories. shot a rum 70 calories. total 70kcal.
    you can easily save 350 kcal in a night of drinking.

    exactly...

    I couldn't give a **** what anyone thinks. I drink captain and diet coke with a twist of lime. I really don't give a **** about calories when I'm going out to party. Nor do I give two ****s about the amounts of sugar in it. Most good rum is made from SUGAR CANE anyways so wtf?!?! You're gonna get a hangover anyways, drink up! I just happen to like the taste of the diet coke over the regular coke when it's mixed with rum. It tastes a little like vanilla coke and I ****en like it!

    Oh yeah one more thing. The only time I'll drink rum and coke is after I've already ran the bar out of Johnnie Walker Black on the rocks. That is and always will be my favorite.

    Regular coke tastes like syrup.. I think the real problem is people that combine alcohol and food. What's the point of that?

    Hm, I logged whiskey and diet coke today. Frankly, I hate regular pop and haven't drank it in years, even when I was overweight. I don't see what's ridiculous about enjoying alcohol with diet pop.

    Your post is a little silly.

    I don't understand why some are being so sensitive.This was funny. I used to laugh at the diet coke drinkers with junk on the side, but now that I'm keeping a record of my intake, I now understand. Even during my so called off days, I'm rough calculating. BTW, pizza is my weakness and when I treat myself, I get the real thing, so I get it. :smile: Bottom line is to do what you feel will help you regardless of how others feel.

    Because it's just absurd. Drinking is not supposed to be healthy, and it doesn't exactly taste good to begin with either so why make it worse with a diet soda? And since when is carbonated synthetic chemicals any healthier because it includes fake, instead of real, processed sugar? I hate to tell you this but either one can be used to fry the acid off your car battery cables. So it's just ridiculous that I type in "Rum & Coke" to the search feature and get this big list of all these drinks with Diet Coke and have to totally scroll down to get the real thing. Like you have to be kidding me. THAT MANY PEOPLE have ruined a perfectly good drink in desperation to get thin? Gimme a break!! Who drinks that often, anyway?!?!

    There are a lot of people from the UK on here and drinking is a much bigger part of their culture than it is in the states. Personally, I prefer red wine, even though white has fewer calories.

    Coke zero is pretty good with rum. Just makes you sad to waste all your hard earned calories on soda when that means you can have a 2nd or 3rd shot of rum!

    If you think that is crazy, breast milk is in the database, so apparently a member logged it into his/her diary at some point.

    Kind of makes the whole diet coke thing seem tame. :bigsmile:

    Because I'm allergic to the high fructose corn syrup in regular Coke, so Diet Coke is my only option, unless I want to spend the night with an upset stomach, vomitting, and rashes from regular Coke (and not the alcohol, haha).
    Why do you care, anyway?
